    I have created a website on wordpress.com. I tried to change the theme. I didn’t like it, so I changed back on the first one, but all the widgets were delete. Is there a possibility to make a backup or ritrieve the last stand?? Thanks

    The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

    You an use the customizer to set up the widgets. The theme customizer https://en.support.wordpress.com/customizer/ provides a preview function for exactly that purpose ie. so you can view what a theme will appear like prior to changing one.

    re: switching themes

    Themes are just “skins” on WordPress.COM hosted blogs. You can quickly and easily change themes on any WordPress.COM hosted blog to another one found here http://wordpress.com/themes/ and no data will be lost or negatively affected by the change. The only time you may have to do some work is if you are changing to a dramatically different theme and have done any CSS editing.

    Provided you are logged in as Admin under the same username account that registered the blog go to Dashboard > Appearance > Themes, Browse themes until you find one you like and click the “activate” or the “preview” link, or type in the name of the theme you want to use when it appears.
